Re^3: Can't find or uninstall version of perl (git-bash / perldoc / %INC)

Are you using the git-bash console ?

There you'll have which and a Perl installation and Unix paths notation.

That doesn't effect the normal cmd.exe unless you change PATH to point to the git utilities. ( I never tried this)

Anyway perldoc -l MODUL will point you to your Perl's installation directory.

For instance the doc location of a core module like warnings always works.

Fired up my Win box and inside cmd.exe it works

D:\>perldoc -l warnings
C:\Perl_524\lib\warnings.pm
[download]

But seems that git-bash comes without perldoc

$ perldoc -l warnings
Can't locate Pod/Perldoc.pm in @INC ...
[download]

But the following works on both variations, provided you swap ' and " accordingly for cmd.exe

$ perl -Mwarnings -e 'print $INC{"warnings.pm"}'
/usr/share/perl5/core_perl/warnings.pm
[download]

D:\>perl -Mwarnings -e "print $INC{q'warnings.pm'}"
C:/Perl_524/lib/warnings.pm
[download]

ANYWAY DON'T TRY TO UNINSTALL git's Perl.
